@Michael Fassbender, best internet advice you could ever get.
-
@Michael Fassbender, but then they'll know I'm hitting on them and turn me away.
-
@Michael Fassbender, preach
-
@Michael Fassbender, that's pretty fvcking direct
-
@Michael Fassbender, so walk up to her and say "Sex!?" repeat until you get sex
-
@RockhardDick, better than get dragged along, when you could move on
-
@Michael Fassbender, I don't know. I guess I'm just too afraid of rejection to try anything.
-
@MedalDeliveryMan, you can tell these people have talked for a while, this guy should have made his intention clear at first, none of this love crap
-
@RockhardDick, just have a conversation and make sure she knows what you're looking for after a while
-
@RockhardDick, if you are confident and assertive, they will be less likely to turn you away.
-
@StuffandThings85, right, for example don't say "can I have your phone number?" say "let me get your phone number" also be interesting talk about some cool things you do but don't be all cocky and full of yourself
-
And so jimmy crawled back into the friendzone from whence he came until he was complete again.
-
@BoomPowYeah, is that a tenacious D reference?
-
@TravisBarker, you are worthy
-
@BoomPowYeah, awwwwww yeah. Just watched that movie again earlier today lol
-
@TravisBarker, you're the chosen one
-
Please, Pleaaaase don't be this chick. Like don't just friend zone guys. If it's obvious that they're flirting with you and you don't like it, just do something other than this. Make it painfully obvious you're not flirting with us. Even if you're a doûche about it, almost literally anything is better than being friend zoned.
-
@Le Omlette, Well don't be a douche but most things are better than playing ignorant.
-
@Le Omlette, personally I never got why being "friend zoned" is so bad. I mean usually when I like a girl it's because I think she's really cool, and if I can't have as a girlfriend I'm still just as happy that she can be my friend.
-
@Le Omlette, good man. Anal isn't better than being frienzoned
-
@Sergei Nohomo, right, you can at least fap to her Instagram pics.
-
@Sergei Nohomo, I would say the friendzone is when the girl knows your feelings but either ignores them or acts vague about her own feelings.
-
@Le Omlette, I got friendzoned yesterday by this girl who said last week I wasnt friendzoned. I still walked her to her door and she still kissed me on the cheek bye! Most confusing week of my life.
-
@Le Omlette, is she not making it painfully obvious that she is not flirting with him by saying he is her best friend?
-
@Velocitaptor, I feel ya man. I got friend zoned the other day by a girl that I had kissed, and she had kissed me back, like a week earlier
-
@Sergei Nohomo, well, I think a lot of the time it's because the girl (or guy) won't make it completely clear that they don't like you like that and just want to be friends. That's the right thing to do and you just have to deal with the fact that that person doesn't like you. But some will continue to flirt with no intention of wanting a relationship simply because they like the attention that is given to them.
-
@DaMoon, make it painfully obvious before the feelings for a girl get to the point where you ask her out
-
@Le Omlette, She made it painfully obvious right there. There is only a problem if he pursues her after this. Way to call out someone for doing exactly what you said you wanted them to do
-
@Hoopscallion, if you would read the comment right above yours, maybe you'd understand why I was calling her out
-
@Le Omlette, so she's supposed to know you like her before you tell her or ask her out? How?
-
@Hoopscallion, You know, like flirting, and hints, and body language...
-
@Le Omlette, Oh I see. Your problem with the girl in this picture is her body language
-
@Le Omlette, I'm confused though. How do you know the backstory behind this?
-
@Hoopscallion, My problem with the girl in the picture is it seems to be that this is the first time she has given him any signs of not being romantically interested in him. Also their relationship probably consisted of more than just texting, so body language was probably a factor.
-
@Hoopscallion, There is no way he's talking that way to his "friend" and there is no way she can interpret it that way. And yet she doesn't address his feelings toward her or hers (or lack) toward him. Instead she sidesteps with a friend appreciation response. It's an easy out for girls because it removes any onus of addressing the actual issue.
-
@Le Omlette, I'm still puzzled how you know this is the first time she said no to him. It seems to me like the kind of grand romantic thing you say when first telling someone you love them, so this may be her first time saying no and his first time letting her know he's interested. Saying I love you as a friend is the correct move. It's way nicer than just saying "No, not interested." Flirting and body language. Excuses. She was asked, she said no, if he still pursues her it's on him
-
@Arcsbane, she very clearly makes it known they are just friends and nothing more. How else can you interpret that?
-
@Arcsbane, Also the onus of responsibility on this one is not hers. She does not control the way he feels. His feelings are entirely his responsibility. She didn't do anything malicious
-
@Hoopscallion, You clearly feel amazingly strongly on this. But, I do disagree. I, and I believe most, would rather just be flatly told no and move on. Their relationship developed to a point where he feels this way about her. The responsibility I refer to is for her to clearly let him know she isn't interested. Instead she sidesteps with "you're such a good friend" instead of actually having the real conversation about their feelings. He passed her the ball and she just...set it aside. No man likes being in that limbo, which is why it is such a recurring issue in the Internet. Also, I apologize this response is so late.
-
@Le Omlette, girls suck but still #nohomo yet
-
@Arcsbane, see but you're using assumptions and half truths. Their relationship developed to this point? Their relationship never developed beyond friendship, that's all it is. Most people would rather? You're assuming that as well. You're clearly reaching if you think this wasn't a rejection. No person could honestly think she liked him back, clearly you and all of the other commenters, and Bart and Lisa know she rejected him. The answer to not dating is not never hanging out again, it's continuing like nothing has changed because nothing has. It'll probably be awkward for a while but all that has happened here is he's developed a crush on her and she didn't develop one back. He is not in limbo, he was clearly rejected.
-
@Hoopscallion, I don't get what "half truths" you are referring to, so I guess I don't have much response there. As to assuming, yes it is an assumption, but a fairly safe one give the prevalence of this very topic on Funny Pics and elsewhere. It may very well be a rejection, but lost in love it wont be taken as such. The limbo of that situation is that you aren't being told it can't happen. You're being told that her feelings haven't progressed beyond friendship. To the person blinded by his affection for her there is a "yet" implied. He thinks there's still a chance, because she left it at friendship. I don't understand why you are so against a clear rejection. It won't kill him for her to say no. Not "That's nice."
-
@Arcsbane, No she could could give him a sound rejection, which she already has. You think Bart and Lisa in this picture are talking about his heart breaking because she stuck him in the friend zone? It's because she rejected him. The half truth was their relationship developing to this point when their relationship has stayed the same and he just wishes it would change. Plus maybe it could happen, it could always maybe happen with anyone. You and I could end up lovers in 10 years, who knows? You and I both know that if he continues to pursue her and gets only these responses she is quite clearly saying no. He doesn't love her if he doesn't know enough about her to know that. The way he asked her out is just awful too. How would you feel if your best friend right now told you what he said to her?
-
@Hoopscallion, I suppose it comes down to simple opinion of how one should be let down on such as this. The real question is whether that was a satisfactory answer to his feelings to the poor fellow in these texts. And as show by these pictures over and over again and the commiseration shown by the added bits and responses that answer is no. It isn't a satisfactory answer. It makes men feel like there may be a chance. And it is 90% the fault of the men for not seeing the truth sooner or through the blinders they've thrown up, but that other 10% is the rejection. A woman obviously can't help how a man (or other woman I suppose although I would imagine the communication would be clearer in that situation) feels about her. But she can be clearer than shown in these texts. I almost always feel bad for the girls in these things, because it puts them in a crappy spot that demands an answer. Which is why I say the friends bit is the safe out. It sets that difficult moment aside.
-
@Arcsbane, yes because a straight up no wouldn't garner sympathy and commiseration from other people. The only satisfactory answer is yes, I love you too. He knows he was rejected, that's what I don't understand about your side. The whole point of this picture is that she broke his heart. It literally says that in the picture above. If he pursues her anymore it is completely 100% entirely on him. I'd say the whole thing is on him. Just say, hey I like you, wanna go out? Don't say I love you more than anyone has ever blah blah blah out of the blue. He didn't even ask her a question or say anything that required a response. He is the only one with feelings and he created this entire situation. All she did was say I love you friend. People say that all the time to their friends. This is all on him
-
@Hoopscallion, I'd agree he needed to man up and ask her out, but he didn't which led to the relevant situation we are talking about, and nearly all these friend zone situations are created by such men. I agree with you that one. The rest of it, no way. Love, especially developmental young love, isn't logical. Young men aren't logical or especially good at mixed or unclear signals such as this (and yes I know to you or I it is clear, but to the poor chap in the heat of it it is not). I think I gotta leave it at that. Your opinions of course have merit and I respect that, but I think we have very disparate life experiences that have led us to see this with very different shades of tinted glasses.
-
@Arcsbane, oh yes I clearly much more sympathize with her and you sympathize with him. My problem is just that you are assuming the way he feels or interprets her response. You don't know how he feels in this moment. In all honesty this is probably fake anyways and no one felt anything :p The fact that he didn't was my whole point. He created the situation and he has to deal with that. I do agree it sucks for him, but I feel less for him because it was easily avoidable and his fault it even happened. Have a good day :)
-
Well him saying stuff like that probably makes her think he is gay
-
Pour some out for our fallen brother
-
Thanks, mom
-
Girls, let's be honest. If you do this to someone else, you deserve to be alone. If you aren't interested in a male friend romantically, tell him. It's better that the friendship ends than having you let him tag along. That will only ever end badly.
-
@I Are Lebo, Alternately, you can let him be your friend and have him do ridiculous favors for you. Like you're Dr. Frankenstein and he's your deformed henchman. Think about that.
-
@MayITakeYourHatSir, here's a better idea. Don't be an evil cünt. Think about it. 😘
-
@I Are Lebo, but I like being an evil cunt ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
-
@I Are Lebo, I believe she did just tell him they were only friends?
-
@Hoopscallion, responding to a declaration of love with "aww, that's cute. You're my friend" is demeaning, humiliating, and emasculating. You don't do that to a friend. There are only three responses that are appropriate to a declaration of love. 1: "I love you too" 2: "I'm sorry but I don't feel that way about you" 3: "this is too much, I'm not ready for this" This type of reaction is extremely disrespectful.
-
@I Are Lebo, You're putting words in her mouth. She didn't say aww that's cute or anything like it. She omg i love you too friend. It's called letting someone down easy. It's really weird this pic upsets you
-
@Hoopscallion, and to show you how I do have some semblance of knowing what I'm talking about, my last girlfriend was my best friends sister. We dated for a couple of months, but then we broke it off because to be honest, she wasn't ready for an intimate relationship. Afterwards we became very close non romantic friends. More recently, she started going on dates. I asked her out again. She turned me down saying she wasn't attracted to me that way anymore. She was polite and respectful about it. I respected how she felt and we are still good friends. I'm not friendzoned, because I've moved on. She's not friendzoned, because she's moved on. I know this situation is rare, but it's completely possible. You just need to be respectful to each other and get over yourself.
-
@I Are Lebo, Yes i've done the same. Dated for a year and then asked to move in together. They weren't ready and honestly didn't know when they would be since we were still in college and we didn't know where we'd end up after graduation. They said we could continue or break up and either would be fine because they understood if that wasn't enough to go on. We're still excellent friends years later. I think this person in this picture is the same type we both described. Have you ever been on the receiving end of this? It's the worst. You know when you say no you're going to upset them and you like them and don't want to do that. She's telling him no while saying we can still be friends. It's a very nice thing she did
-
@Hoopscallion, exactly. Someone who responded like this to me would no longer be my friend because I would tell them to get fücked.
-
@Hoopscallion, why'd you downvote me? I was agreeing with you.
-
@Hoopscallion, oh. Maybe not. My bad.
-
To this day they have yet to find her....
-
The cringe is strong with this one
-
Never fear The Voter of All is here *proceeds to upvote everyone*
-
Til death do we stop being bffs
-
I also send that to my crush... i mean... im not that creative but i try
-
Girls friend zoning since 0 bc
-
A moment of silence for our friendzoned brother.
-
This made me sad
-
When it comes to women, men can only ever be either jerks or pathetic
-
What's so hard about saying "why haven't we dated yet? I really like you and think you'd be a great life companion. What's stopping you from taking this to the next level, Jessica?"
-
If you've been friend zoned by a girl don't waste your time with her. She doesn't know what she wants and you deserve better.
-
Umm, is nobody going to point out that he forgot a zero (the distance to the moon and back is about 768800 km)?
-
Are we just ignoring the fact that he said he is going to die in a few years or...
-
What is this friendzone I keep hearing about?
-
I took this girl out on a couple of dates and said she'd just rather be friends. I told her I don't just want to be her friend (especially since she's dull and boring). I said either go out with me or fvck off. Needless to say it's awkward when we're at the gym at the same time
To avoid the friendzone just be direct with a girl at first
